 Unix Tip #4616- October 31, 2025
 
USES FOR AWK  
  
If you have a server  
with alot of filesystems  
on it (oracle/SAP  
environments) then this  
little awk command can  
come in useful. It can  
obviously be used in many  
other situations also. In  
this example, the file  
structure is /oracle/PRD/xxxx.  
  
awk '/PRD/{ print "umount " $3 }' /etc/vfstab | /sbin/sh  
  
If you run it without  
piping it to 'sh', then it  
will show you what the command  
will do. You can replace the  
'umount' with whatever command you  
like. It's a quick and easy though.
